Thick Scum Build Up Around Toilet |
|
|
I recently purchased a block of flats from some people who didn't clean, I'm having some trouble with the toilet in one of them. The outside of the toilet is covered in some sort of caked on build up, including all the piping and floor around it!
It's really unbelievable. I just cant force myself to scrub it by hand my husband had a go and it seems to be really stuck. I've tried spraying all sorts of cleaning products even hydrochloric acid on it hoping it will dissolve or eat it away.
It may have been building up for 7 years or more. Is there any hope? There has to be some sort of heavy duty scum eater!
Any help appreciated.

Use White Vinegar.
It kills scumb, mold & lime and all dirt. You can actually wash mildew off walls using vinegar & a mop.
Vinegar is cheap, Easy to use and the vinegar smell goes away in a day or less.

I think you would be ahead to call this toilet a loss, and just replace it.

Try spraying it with white vinegar, let it set a few minutes and then scrub.

Try soaking paper towels in white vinegar and leaving them on the affected areas. I've been amazed at what white vinegar can clean!

I have found that the cleaning product Greased Lightening can take up ANYTHING! Good Luck.
